I am Jeanne, Jerry's wife. I want you all to know how much he appreciated your comments and enjoyed perusing your art and commenting as well. I can honestly say, other than painting, communicating with all of you was his favorite pasttime.

Not only was he an amazing, talented master at his craft, but he was also a tender, devoted husband, father and grandfather.

His funeral was Friday, April 17 and it was ablaze with color, just like he would have liked.

Thank you for all of your comments. He will live on, through the legacy of his art, and the world will always enjoy, appreciate, and be moved his exceptional work.
